What Really Grinds My GearsWhen did "she" become the gender-less pronoun? It annoys the crap out of me because "she" is female to my mind, and to the minds of anyone who completed middle school English and Grammar. Whatever happened to a good ole "they"? "They" is a wonderful word; it can be singular or plural, and best of all: it's genderless! But no. Writers of all types spent far too long using "he" as the basic pronoun, when we weren't using "they", and now women have had their outcry and now every single type of person ever written about will always seem female at first glance.
Thank you very much for your feminism. I'm going to go pick up my new Bible and read about God now; she's such a nice lady.
